Comparis tips for buying and running electric cars

  • Check the range: Choose a model with sufficient range for your daily trips and longer journeys.

  • Charging infrastructure: Make sure there are enough charging stations in your area and consider installing your own wallbox.

  • Take advantage of any subsidies: Find out about government subsidies and tax breaks for buying and running electric cars.

  • Plan your charging times: Consider the different charging times depending on the charging method (fast charging vs. normal charging).

  • Battery life: Pay attention to the warranty of the battery and its service life; batteries usually last several years. Many manufacturers provide a battery warranty of eight years and for up to 160,000km.

  • Maintenance and costs: Electric cars have lower maintenance costs than combustion engines because they have fewer moving parts.

  • Insurance: Compare insurance rates as they may vary by model and provider.
